Possible new storm

Anybody picking up on the cluster below the Yucatan? http://vortex.accuweather.com/hurricane/...&region=GUL I see an eye there but nobody seems to be worried about it yet.

Re: Possible new storm

Hi, Unicorn!

Not to honk my own horn, but please take a look at my post on GFS model and effects on the Tampa Bay area..posted yesterday.

GFS has been calling for the Yucatan low to develop and swing NE into the central Florida Gulf Coast for about 3 days now.

Intensity will be questionable as always...but being that I live on the Gulf in St. Petersburg Beach, this is definitely one to keep an eye on when it crosses the FL Straits.

Cheers!

Dave

Re: Possible new storm

Yesterday I thought the GFS was crazy in developing a low and swinging it twords Tampa because I did not see one sign of the desturbance. Now I am inclined to think the GFS is not as crazy. The desturbace is there with a good amount of T-Storms. I don't beleve it will develop into anything major maybe a Tropical Storm at worst because of some sheer.

Re: Possible new storm

Although the 12Z GFS is not showing the same strength as in previous runs, I'm staying totally informed on this one. Could be one of those "UH OH!" systems that intensifies rapidly right before making landfall. Like to check the results of the 18Z models later this evening and see how Tammy's new track and the effects and movement of the low in the NE Gulf will have on track/intensity of 93L. Depending on the 18Z runs, might even stay up to check the 00Z 06 runs so I don't get caught with my britches down.

Re: Possible new storm

As reported, the system coming from the Yucatan is disorganized. It has signs of developing slightly, but the storm is moving rather quickly and is now passing over Cuba on its way to Florida. Fortunately, assuming status quo (I know... it's wrong to assume), should be little more than bad thunderstorms and a windy day or so for South Florida. Here's hoping for the status quo!

Re: Possible new storm

Looking at the satilite tonight this system looks even more disorganized and probably won't, in my mind become a depression. I hope it keeps coming twords the Tampa area though because we need the rain and it has been a very dry summer especally in September.

Re: Possible new storm

Yea that 'area' hasn't shown a lot of promise in developing and with the frontal boundary moving through the SE CONUS ...... I don't see it developing into a depression or storm for that matter.

RECON has been pulled for 15 and 18Z.
